ABSTRACT

Over the course of many sessions, I learned that Jennifer was the younger of two sisters. Her parents were first-generation Americans with Italian ancestry. Family was important; in fact, Jennifer’s paternal grandmother lived with the family during the entire time that Jennifer was growing up. Jennifer spoke highly of her parents. According to Jennifer, her father was strict but loving. Jennifer was closer to her mother and grandmother. Jennifer’s older sister appeared to be the favorite in the family, being both beautiful and talented.
